SummaryIn a land where magic has been forgotten but peace has reigned for centuries, a deadly unrest is simmering. Three kingdoms grapple for power--brutally transforming their subjects' lives in the process. Amidst betrayals, bargains, and battles, four young people find their fates forever intertwined.
Cleo: A princess raised in luxury must embark on a rough and treacherous journey into
enemy territory in search of a magic long thought extinct.
Jonas: Enraged at injustice, a rebel lashes out against the forces of oppression that have kept his country impoverished--and finds himself the leader of a people's revolution centuries in the making.
Lucia: A girl adopted at birth into a royal family discovers the truth about her past--and the supernatural legacy she is destined to wield.
Magnus: Bred for aggression and trained to conquer, a firstborn son begins to realize that the heart can be more lethal than the sword...
The only outcome that's certain is that kingdoms will fall. Who will emerge triumphant when all they know has collapsed?
Afterthoughts
Magic and adventure are my two favorite story elements and, as this story had both in abundance, I was well intrigued. The story itself was good, containing enough action to keep the story going, but not remarkable. I was a bit disappointed that the twist I expected never materialized and the story was fairly predictable.
I do not feel as if this book was a waste of time, but I wasn't impressed with it. It was a bit cliche and certainly not 'The gripping New York Times bestseller that is Game of Thrones for teens.' Overall, I was disappointed.
Warnings
